What wheels are you planning on fitting ? Easiest way is to test fit them and see if they clear without spacers...

Offset is a measure of "off center", so going from an 8" wide wheel to a 9" rim would only "stick out" a half inch further, plus the 3mm difference in offset (from 38 to 35mm).

Half inch (~13mm) + 3mm = stick out ~16mm further than stock

incorrect
a 17x9 rim with a 35mm offset will be sticking in 1/2 inch more in stocking out 1/2 more out + 3mm

so for looks a higher offset is usually better???

like the Rota P45r's 25mm or 30mm ... which one would be considered more aggressive???

a higher offset would give the wheel a more curved look wouldnt it??? as in it would curve outward from the center of the wheel on out.
